What issue are you seeing?
When I change reasoning effort to medium inside an active Codex CLI session, Codex confirms the change, but /status still shows reasoning none.
This makes it unclear whether:
- the reasoning setting is not actually being applied, or
/statusis displaying the wrong value.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Start Codex CLI:
```bash
codex
- Check the current status
```bash
/status
- The output should be like: Model:
gpt-5.4 (reasoning none, summaries auto) - Change the effort:
```bash
/model medium
- Codex responds:
Reasoning effort set to medium. - Check again the status:
```bash
/status
- Outcome:
Model: gpt-5.4 (reasoning none, summaries auto)
What is the expected behavior?
After setting reasoning effort to medium, /status should show:gpt-5.4 (reasoning medium, summaries auto)
